Group Supervision for Therapists Working with Children and Families
Group supervision spaces that support reflective, ethical and sustainable practice.
Working therapeutically with children and families is deeply meaningful work.
It can also be complex, emotionally demanding, and at times isolating.
Group supervision at Children’s Therapy Tasmania offers a thoughtful, trauma-informed space where practitioners can slow down, reflect deeply, and strengthen their clinical thinking alongside peers.
Our group supervision spaces are designed for therapists who value reflective practice, ethical decision-making, and sustainable careers supporting children and families.
Why group supervision matters
Therapists working with children often carry layers of complexity, include navigating developmental needs, family systems, trauma histories, and ethical decision-making.
Without regular spaces to reflect, this work can begin to feel heavy or isolating.
Group supervision offers an opportunity to:
deepen clinical understanding of complex cases
learn from the perspectives of other practitioners
strengthen ethical decision-making
reduce professional isolation
support therapist wellbeing and sustainability
Rather than focusing on “having the right answers,” group supervision encourages curiosity, reflection, and shared thinking.
Our Approach to Supervision
Supervision at Children’s Therapy Tasmania is grounded in:
Reflection
Trauma-Informed
Child-centred care
Sustainability
Supervision spaces are intentionally held to be respectful and non-judgemental, reflective rather than performance focused and supportive of both clinical development and personal insight.
Participants are invited to bring questions, uncertainty and complexity into these spaces.
